If You Build It They Will Come

This is a line from the film 'Field of Dreams' starring Kevin Costner where his character is guided to build a baseball field in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa. It was maybe not meant to be a mantra for a Therapeutic Practice.

This is what I've built since I began this journey from the Corporate world of Management Consultancy to the quieter world of private therapy practice:

- Qualifications in Reiki Healing, Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- Continuing professional development in all of the above (learning is a journey not a destination)
- A network of like minded therapists and professionals
- A commitment to ethical practice adhering to professional codes of conduct
- A beautiful, tranquil safe haven in my own home in which to work with my clients
- A professional relationship with excellent supervisors who support me and ensure I'm in a good place to help others

I would like to thank the following people who have helped me so far; Cherri, both the Johns, Faye, Jane, Jacqui, Ina, all the Alisons, Leonie, Penny, and of course my wonderful boys for putting up with all the days I was studying or writing essays and case studies into the wee small hours, Simon and Alex. And finally thank you to my cats who regularly turn up for work and help to put a smile on the face of clients as they face up to times that sometimes they would rather not remember.

So the foundations are laid with love and care. Brick by brick the practice will grow and day by day myself and my clients will work together and learn the lessons that life had chosen for us. As we build it together so this will grow, not in a cornfield in Iowa but in a room in Priory Vale.
